[h3]GAMES & PLATFORMS IMPACTED[/h3]

• Age of Mythology: Retold (Steam / Microsoft Store / Xbox)

[h3]OBJECTIVES[/h3]

• Routine server updates and maintenance.

[h3]DETAILS[/h3]This coming Wednesday, May 14th, the platform team will be taking the multiplayer servers down for regular maintenance. Please note:

• Ranked matchmaking will disabled exactly one hour before the maintenance window to prevent disruption to newly-formed matches.
  
  
• Any matches still in progress at the start of the maintenance window will be disrupted when it begins.
  
  
• DURING THE MAINTENANCE WINDOW, YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO LAUNCH THE GAME, BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MATCHMAKE OR ACCESS ANY ONLINE FEATURES.

To prevent any interruptions, we recommend wrapping up any games at least 10 minutes before the maintenance window. The downtime is expected to last between 1 and 2 hours. You can watch this thread with any changes to the schedule as they arise, as well as the all-clear when the maintenance is complete.

Thank you for your patience!

⚠️ We have a quick update about our Pantheon Pin-Up event! A bug caused completion of some challenges to not count.

A server-side fix has been applied. Your current and future challenge contributions should now register correctly. Well done, Heroes, for your community effort!

• ⚠️ Note: A client restart may be required to view the updated total contributions with the fix applied.

May 1st will begin a year-long Community Event for Age of Mythology: Retold! We’ve assembled a host of challenges for players to take on, with every point earned for objectives completed counting towards the rewards!

Objectives will vary in difficulty; from completing any kind of match to proving mastery on the battlefield with challenging timed feats.

Everyone will need to work together to earn the rewards, with monthly score targets in place to unlock cosmetic rewards. Can you play your part in reaching the final goal and unlocking a new god portrait?

Any contribution towards the total goal makes you eligible to earn all the rewards unlocked by the community each month. So you just have to show up and play a part!

Track the community’s progress in the Community Event tab in-game. There you’ll see the community score, goals and objectives.

Play each month to ensure you don’t miss any rewards!

The event will begin May 1st, with 4 new rewards up for grabs. Each month has a chosen theme, which the Community works towards unlocking during the previous month. May was focused on unlocking our Summer-themed picture of Ra - but Poseidon managed to muscle Ra out of the way! We’ll post on social channels each month about the new rewards and goals so be sure you’re following Age of Mythology.

• Join in with the community and help to achieve the monthly goal!
  
• Participate by completing objectives each week to maximize your personal contribution to the Community Goal progress.
  
• Each month there will be 4 rewards to achieve as a community. The first reward is collected by participating at least once during the month. The rest are achieved by community total contribution.
  
• Participants can claim their rewards during the month following a community event.
  
• The Major Reward for completing the full community goal each month will be a new Major God Portrait.
  
• The first event will begin on May 1st!
